Umi is the nearly 2000 year old mummy of an Egyptian child. Recently, medical experts and experts-in-training at Northern Kentucky University completed new X-ray and CAT scans of Umi. With these scans, we hope to learn more about how Umi lived and died, and create models of the body and amulets without disturbing the elaborate and fragile cartonnage and wrappings.
You can see Umi in the Museum of Natural History & Science at Cincinnati Museum Center!
